AI-Driven Investment Ideas
1. Expecting a Second-Half Rally After Overheated Adjustment While the KOSPI is currently seeing a sharp decline due to exhaustion from short-term gains and global negative factors, expert analysis suggests this volatility is a temporary adjustment following overheating, and the long-term upward momentum remains intact. There is potential for a full-scale rally in the second half after the June adjustment.
2. Selective Risk-Off and Style Rotation Amid Economic Slowdown Concerns Current global macro-economic flows clearly point to a "selective risk-off amid economic slowdown concerns" phase, as the market digests short-term overheating and reallocates capital to defensive zones. Consequently, interest in defensive stocks and low-volatility assets is expected to rise.
Investment Cautions & Macro Context
1. Heightened Geopolitical Anxiety Military tensions between the U.S. and Iran are rising again, negatively impacting the domestic market. iM Securities assesses that the domestic market is being affected by expanded geopolitical anxiety and global uncertainty.
2. U.S. May Consumer Price Index (CPI) Release Despite the relief from the U.S. CPI announcement, the domestic market is expected to open lower due to internal and external uncertainties.
3. Global Tech Slump and Deteriorating Supply/Demand Supply and demand are worsening due to continued net selling by foreign investors, and the weakness in U.S. semiconductor stocks is bleeding over into domestic semiconductor shares, lowering investor sentiment.
